[zebra]

This build up makes mine seem quick

gtr32 - should be the goods when shes done. And you had better post a video going flat out up mountain straight.....Just put some winfield stickers on it and call every one a "Pack of arseholes" at the end and we'll all be happy no matter what power it makes

[gun32gtr]

its running bit rough now but it wont be driven much at all without tune...ill have to drive to sydney after rego but will be a long slow offf boost tripo thats for sure....

[gun32gtr]

the os twin plate is in and to tell the truth the clutch feels really good.not to hard on the foot or jumpy...

had bit a issue with one of the fuel line going to the 044 blowing out and filling the back of my car with fuel.went down under rear seats etc.fixed now but have the bloody fuel smell in the car.can this be washed out or will it fade after time.i have pulled the top of the rear sear out,boot carpet,all the liner under rear seat etc.but i cant for the life of me get the bottom half of the rear seats out.

any help with ideas on how to get rid of smell will be great

cheers kane

p.s running sweet as now fuel leak was fixed

[blk180]

HAHA i can see seans car in that video too.

Screw drive (a big one) under the seat where there they attach to the floor and pull up. they sould go down then up but i had the same problem one would come out but not the other.

Hey Fellas ,

i know this thread is going back a while now but instead of making a new topic i thought id keep this one going. i've got a healthy 1994 GTR and i'm fair new to this game and it so happens i wanted the goal of 300-320 AWKW give or take aswell. I would love to reach it but the most important thing to me is reliability but obviously id love to hit my goal.

My mate spoke to his tuner and his tuner said anything over 260awkw is pushing the reliability out the window and becoming a ticking time bomb without a rebuilt engine.

I was curious of your thoughts, I've read the entire thread here and seems to have gave me some tips but im still confused, because heaps of people run over 270 in a GTST and whatnot :S.

My car is pretty much a stocker no internals as i know have been changed. All that would really help would be the N1 Oil Pump and N1 Water pump and Yellow Jacket Coil pack and iridium spark plugs.

The engine was taken out a few months before i owned it and he had replaced every seal, every belt and inspected everything for rust etc etc and all was clean... I also had a MTA inspection on this car when i bought it for my peace at mind and the guy said it was one of the healthiest gtrs so that was great for me !

I don't do 8grand dumps or burnouts on streets... i would go to the drags every now and a again, i do give my car a lil but i'm never really bouncing off the limiter. Its a pride and joy for a reason to me

Thanks for anyones help i appreciate it.

did they do a compression test when they checked it out?

if not, that would be the first thing i would do, and as long as you have proof or know for certain that the belt was changed and your not going off what someone says, i would get the belt changed asap or atleast looked at. but if what your saying turns out to be a very good condition gtr then your engine should be fine, and with the right supporting mods you shouldnt have a problem with between 300-320rwkw.

i mean as you know a motor can always go bang, but just a quick search is showing that many people have run 350rwkw on standard bottom ends for years, but others have blown 2-3 engines with that power on stock internals.

and yes, from experience once pushing past 260-280rwkw on a gtst, they are fine but after a year of abuse, your compression wil start to decrease, not in every case but in mine, i mean it still went and went good, but i could notice she wasnt as crisp as she used to be. gtr's on the other hand can handle a little bit more

the thing is you never know what you will need or what you wont, things may fail, things may not, thats where making it reliable costs money. for example "john" prefers to wait for his afm's to stuff up before he replaces them and "peter" would prefer to replace them before they go bang and damage anything else. thats my theory on reliability, save up, put the proper supporting mods on, fuel, spark, induction ect check your pumps and get a good tune from the best workshop in your area, then you can feel safe about your car and get pointed in the right direction in the future.

so yes, IMO, if your engine is in the condition that you claim it is, 300-320 rwkw with supporting mods on a healthy rb26 should fine.

dont beleive anyone who tells you about massive drive train losses either, awkw-rwkw have been tested on many cars to only lose between 2-5kw and the most i have read was 10-15kw max absolute max, depending on dynos of course but if it was such a difference everybody would be driving around in rwd gtr's, this simply isnt the case.

Thanks for the advice man, yeh a compression test was done and they were all perfect. all the tests made a healthy outcome.. i still think its worth building it cus if shit blows ill end up spending more money trying to fix shit. if were to build it what will i be looking at replacing exactly? Rods pistons etc, but i dont no everything so if anyone can help me out on exactly what i need that will be awesome

theres plenty of threads on this with heaps of info about building motors, and it depends on what you want out of the motor, once you start talking rebuilds theres a million different was you can go. are you rebuilding it yourself or you just want to source parts and take it to your mechanic.

another thing, rebuilding your engine can be a costly experience, and if you dont have the funds at hand, it can also be a lengthy process because you run into all these hidden factors with different parts ect. if you have the cash and want to rebuild it thats fine, but what your saying is you have a very healthy engine so im not sure if i would rebuild it straight away, maybe even if you tuned it to 300kw to keep it healthy, remember, you could get 50,000kms out of it or more, thats 50,000kms less on your fresh rebuild, but if you have the money and can do it all at once , it def wont hurt the engine.

all depends on your situation, another thing with rb26s, take it to someone who doesnt know what their doing and you will be paying for it twice
